All - We do not worry about addresses for ON-campus students. They live here. :-) But we do need addresses for off-campus students. So it would be great to have a marker or indicator or way to distinguish between those two. But we would need only one address on the patron record. We also make sure that every student has an on-campus email address.

One set of use cases that I'm particularly curious about are how addresses should be handled. For example, does it suffice for most of the libraries in the IG to have the batch import handle one address per patron? Do any of you get mailing address data from any place other than the student and staff information systems? Are any of you in a position to not have to worry about keeping student mailing addresses in the ILS at all?
